Description
4:3
Clock Source Select — As shown in Table 10-2, this 2-bit field is used to disable the TPM system or select one
CLKS[B:A] of three clock sources to drive the counter prescaler. The external source and the XCLK are synchronized to the
bus clock by an on-chip synchronization circuit.
2:0
PS[2:0]
Prescale Divisor Select — This 3-bit field selects one of eight divisors for the TPM clock input as shown in
Table 10-3. This prescaler is located after any clock source synchronization or clock source selection, so it affects
whatever clock source is selected to drive the TPM system.

2 _{If the external clock input is shared with channel n and is selected as the TPM clock source,}
the corresponding ELSnB:ELSnA control bits should be set to 0:0 so channel n does not try
to use the same pin for a conflicting function.

10.4.2 Timer x Counter Registers (TPMxCNTH:TPMxCNTL)
The two read-only TPM counter registers contain the high and low bytes of the value in the TPM counter.
Reading either byte (TPMxCNTH or TPMxCNTL) latches the contents of both bytes into a buffer where
they remain latched until the other byte is read. This allows coherent 16-bit reads in either order. The
coherency mechanism is automatically restarted by an MCU reset, a write of any value to TPMxCNTH or
TPMxCNTL, or any write to the timer status/control register (TPMxSC).
